Try https://sameday.costco.com - it’s run by Instacart. I ordered with it last week and received most of what I wanted (don’t worry, no TP!) including a chicken.

I’m not going back to Costco soon.

Thanks for the tip. They deliver to our area. Nice to have this option since Google Express stopped delivering.

Canadian Cruise Ports: Holland America's current advisory is a nothing-burger.

"...Transport Canada has suspended the cruise season across Canada until July 1, 2020. We will be evaluating our Alaska and Canada & New England cruises scheduled within this time frame and when more information is available we will share it. Guests booked on these cruises in May and June are kindly asked to not call our reservations center for more information as we do not have it at this time." (emphasis added)

I see their choices as... (1) redirecting the ship, (2) changing sail dates, or (3) cancelling.
I'd be just as happy to cancel, but they need to get their acrt together.

Today I went shopping at a Super WalMart store in downtown Suffolk, VA and they were stocking Isopropyl Alcohol (70% & 90% proof) on their shelves.
The first thing I notice was the reduce in size/content 16 FL OZ (1 PT) only bottles.

I spent the last 2 hours putting in online orders. 2 to Costco (deliver), 1 to Target (deliver) and 1 to Smiths (Krogers) (deliver). I think we are hunkered down.

We cancelled our housecleaning services until further notice as they may be dragging germs from house to house and since they will be touching all surfaces it is going to be impossible to clean up the home after them. We have one more visit from the blinds installer to finish the job tomorrow and then we are shutting down all visitors to our home.

As long as our golf course remains open, we will go out by ourselves instead of organized groups and friends.

Our home ellipitical and exercise bike have replaced trips to the gym. I am still debating whether to go to the Thursday yoga classes where there is just an instructor plus maybe one other student in a large room.

But won't the blind installer have to also touch a number of services to orient himself?

We are well aware of that. We will stay at least 6 ft from him and wipe down all door handles etc. The installer missed bringing one last blind a week and a half ago. This guy will put up the last blind and then we will be done.

My dry humour is mainly to entertain myself.

I live in Naples and the local news was enough to make me crazy last night. Spring breakers being interviewed one saying if " I get the Conrona Virus it would be totally worth it". I guess no one told her that this virus could cause life long lung damage or even death......hardly worth it. Just wondering if parents are trying to talk some sense into these kids.

Last year Venice, Italy wanted to reduce large cruise ship from docking into their cruise ports & destroying their canals & city. They got it and much more. They are losing million and millions of dollars and euros from tourism industry.

Good one, only I think you meant "surfaces."
I like dry-humor, too.

I wanted to go out food shopping today and also to get my darn haircut (my hair is a royal mess) but now I have to stay home to wait for a check I need to sign for (that will be interesting) because of our mutual company's incompetence-- not sure if will get it today or tomorrow- then I need to get it to a our bank as it is a substantial amount. I also want to get some wine and vodka and tequila and I want to get maple syrup.

Thursday our new mattress is being delivered, as well as an order from Home Depot and Vital Choice Seafood. Awaiting a call from a Lowes installer for our storm door. Hubby has been to the post office mailing out the vials for our radon test.

All very exciting. NOT!
